    The characteristic equation det(A-I(lambda)=0 is used to determine the eigenvalues of a matrix A. The general solution to the differential equation dx/dt = Ax+b, where b does not equal 0, is given by c(t)=ci*zi*exp(lambda(i)) summation over i - A inverse b, where the eigenvectors correspond to the eigenvalues lambda(i). If all the eigenvalues are less than zero, then the solution will decay over time.

    Original Description:

    Solution to determine the eigenvalues of a matrix and the general solution to the set dx/dt=Ax+b.

    is given by
    c(t)=ci*zi*exp(lambda(i)) summation over i - A inverse b
    where the corresponding eigen vectors are given by lambda(i).
    If the eigenvalues are all less than zero, then the solution will decay over tim
